These humanoids are rumored to have been created long ago by the Beast Lord to battle mankind and protect the pure animals. Physically, they look like humans with features of the animal after which they are fashioned.
It is said that the Beastmen have long since been abandoned by the Beast Lord. Some now strive to integrate themselves into society. This proves to be difficult due to their peculiar nature. Elves tend to get along better with Beastmen but humans generally scorn them because of old resentments passed down from the time of the Beast Wars (see Xarian timeline). Ironically, there are ill feelings between varying breeds of Beastmen who often do not get along with one another.
The uncharted southern continent of Leniel is thought to be the Beastman homeland, although Beastmen can be found throughout Xaria. Generally, Beastmen living in Xaria are mercenaries, thieves, and beggars, but some have formed their own packs and still retain their beastly honor.
Beastmen are susceptible to both CHARM and TAME spells.
Special Abilities
Beastmen have advantages that are specific to their animal counterpart. For example, an Ursine (Bear) Beastman, being strong and hearty, might have an extra Body Point or the ability to instill fear (as per the FEAR spell). Theoretically, Beastmen can also converse with actual animals of their own type [good luck doing that on a game]. If you are planning to play a Beastman character, you should discuss your character’s special ability with the GM.
